That's why PC sales keep dropping while mobile sales are now 6-7X that

This shouldn't be misunderstood as such, which I think you as
misunderstanding it. The reason mobile sales are so high is because of
planned obsolescence and the walled garden that these devices are built
around. I've gone through maybe 3-4 phones in the time that I've had my
Desktop, and I use my desktop every single day. I don't need to buy a
new one cause it runs perfectly fine, there aren't operating system
updates that purposely cause the CPU to run slower to "save battery
life" when a new device and OS come out. That's not to say it isn't
insignificant but the sales numbers are exacerbated.
Right. Basically, "sales stats" should never be misconstrued as "usage
stats".
